What should an inspection and test plan include?
An inspection and test plan should name the work package and the specifications and drawings it is checked against. For each stage it should say what is inspected or tested, the acceptance criteria, the method and frequency, whether it is a hold point, witness point or review, and who signs. It should record each result with a reference to the record or certificate.

Fill it in on a phone or tablet
Your team completes the inspection and test plan on site in the SiteSurvey app on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The project name and address fill in for them, it works without signal, and it syncs when the device is back online with photos kept against the question they answer.
Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.
Every question in the inspection and test plan template
Inspection and test plan for a work package: each check with its acceptance criteria, hold and witness points, who inspects, results, records and release. 3 sections and 36 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
Make it your own: every question is editable
This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.
Details you only enter once
Add this form to a project in SiteSurvey and it fills in what the project already knows, so nobody on site retypes it and every form on the job uses the same names. Anything filled in can still be changed.
- Project: the project name
- Client: the project's customer
- Site: the site, when the form is opened for a space or a product

Inspection and test plan FAQs
What is the difference between a hold point and a witness point?
The form uses the usual meanings. At a hold point, work stops until the named person has inspected and signed. At a witness point they are invited to see it, and work can go on if they do not attend. A review means records are checked afterwards. Your contract may define them differently, and the form says so.
What happens when an inspection fails?
The point is marked failed and the form shows a warning to raise a non-conformance report and not to cover up or build over the work until it is closed. The library has a non-conformance report form for that. The plan counts the points passed and failed.
Can a point be waived?
Yes, but the form asks who agreed to waive it and why. The release page asks whether all hold points have been passed or formally waived, and what is outstanding if not.
Who signs the plan?
The contractor carrying out the work and the client or inspector, both on the device, on the release page. Each passed or failed point also records who inspected it and when, and the plan records who accepted it for the client before work started.
How many inspection points can it hold?
Up to 60, each with photos. In the SiteSurvey app it works offline and syncs when the device is back online, and the record goes out as a PDF or a share link.
Is an inspection and test plan a legal requirement?
No regulation asks for an ITP by name: it is usually required by the contract or a quality system. In England, regulation 7 of the Building Regulations 2010 requires building work to be done with proper materials and in a workmanlike manner, and Approved Document 7 lists tests among the ways to show workmanship is adequate.
